Description Ivan Rouzanov 2015-03-05 07:49:14 UTC 
\_SB.MBID device is not needed on BYT-I SKUs when DPTF is not present as there is no PUNIT FW to communicate with from IA side. So \_SB.MBID should be removed from DSDT on MinnowBoard MAX to prevent MBI driver from installing.
Currently IOTG drivers package for Windows includes MBI driver (as it is generic BYT-I package) so if \_SB.MBID is present driver installs. But since it is not needed, it is better to remove it to avoid support overhead.

Please test both images(32bit and 64 bit),which removed MBI device from ACPI DSDT Table.

Assign to Ivan to review the image.
Comment 3 Ivan Rouzanov 2015-03-27 02:41:48 UTC 
Still present on 0.78.
Here is the Firmware I am running:

0: kd> !sysinfo machineid
Machine ID Information [From Smbios 2.8, DMIVersion 40, Size=1146]
BiosVendor = Intel Corp.
BiosVersion = MNW2MAX1.X64.0078.R02.1503101347
BiosReleaseDate = 03/10/2015
SystemManufacturer = Circuitco
SystemProductName = MinnowBoard MAX D0 PLATFORM
SystemFamily = IA Notebook
SystemVersion = D0
SystemSKU = To be filled by O.E.M
BaseBoardManufacturer = Circuitco
BaseBoardProduct = MinnowBoard MAX
BaseBoardVersion = REV A

Clearly - 0.78 from SMBIOS: MNW2MAX1.X64.0078.R02.1503101347

Looking in DSDT, still can see  \_SB.MBID:
0: kd> !amli dns \_SB.MBID

ACPI Name Space: \_SB.MBID (ffffe00029cd85c0)
Device(MBID)

The attached engineering drop has already included the fix. V0.79 release will offically include the fix.
Comment 5 Stephen K Jolley 2017-06-13 18:07:31 UTC 
We are no longer tracking in Yocto Project Bugzilla MinnowBoard and MinnowBoard-MAX HW and firmware bugs.
